Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com, February 14, 3dfx Interactive released the first generation of Voodoo Graphics graphics cards 27 years ago, and revolutionized independent 3D graphics cards in "GLQuake".

The EDO DRAM of this original Voodoo Graphics graphics card is only 4MB. Bits und Bolts, the anchor of the YouTube channel, has recently been modified by MOD to upgrade the Maxi Gamer 3D card to 6MB (which will be upgraded to 8MB later).

The way Voodoo Graphics works is quite primitive: it has a texture mapping unit and a "frame buffer interface" (FBI), both of which are independent chips. Each of these processors has its own 64-bit memory interface, which is usually connected to a 2MB RAM running synchronously at 50 MHz, theoretically providing a 128-bit memory bus for the card. In fact, because the two sticks of memory are actually separate, efficiency depends on the balanced utilization of the two processors.

The anchor creates a custom PCB, welds the video memory slot (and grinds off the excess material in the slot to make it installed correctly), but the final product is a separate daughter board. All you have to do is stick it on top of the card's existing memory, connect a wire to the TMU, and a 6MB Voodoo card will come out.

Bits und Bolts mentioned that he plans to create a second board to upgrade FBI memory (to card 8MB RAM), where interested CTOnews.com netizens can visit and wait for his subsequent updates. Currently, he has tested 6MB cards in 3DMark 99 with mixed results. Although there is basically no difference in FPS game testing, the performance of "Race" games is 15% better than that of 4MB graphics cards.
